Home Assignment: TRADING PLACES!
Dear students,
As our own contribution to the celebration of the World Teacher's Day we are going to trade places this Monday. Which means that YOU will do the teaching and I will be ready to "rest on my laurels". To be a success, please look through your home assignment and try to figure out how to create a nice interesting entertaining and thought provoking class basing on this material and something new that each of you will be ready to introduce!
I see it like that - some of you might volunteer to take up my job for some ten minutes, others could be appointed. So we will be able to enjoy the teaching performance of each student in turns.
Yours, JL

Examination Fever For most of the year, most of us had been allergic to work; apparently there had been a history of such allergies in the school.Throughout the spring there had been quite a few cases of 'Exams are stupid', which proved highly contagious among friends.Then in late May, one or two of us suffered a mild attack of 'Gosh, is it really next month?' and we seemed to give that to the others rather rapidly. You could tell how it was spreading from improved attendance at lessons.An even more serious outbreak was that of the very infectious 'I don't know a thing’ two weeks before. At about the same time everyone seemed tocatch 'You're no good!' from the teachers. Then there was about “don't really care” followed by a few chronic cases of 'My parents will kill me'. This again proved very catching; half the class was down with it in the week leading up to the exam itself, and it had reached epidemic proportions by the Friday before.By this time, those who had been suffering from 'It'll be easy for me' had made a total recovery.That Friday there was a 'What if I'm suffering from amnesia?' scare, and this had developed by Monday into a touch of I can't even remember my own name'.There were also, of course, the normal isolated cases of 'My pen doesn't work' and several pupils had a sudden fit of 'Where's the toilet?'Afterwards there were a couple of complaints of I know I've failed', but generally the worst seemed to be over. Such diseases are rarely terminal! 2) Watch the video and answer the questions below:
What can you say about the patient judging by her looks? Describe the examination the doctor has given her. What health problems did he discover? Why did the doctor finally run away in horror?
3) Work on the phrasal verbs connected with health and illness and be ready make up the dialogues using at least 7 units.
